Today Kathy and I fly to S. California to spend a week with my sis there and see our cousins, nieces and nephews. We will also see my Aunt who will likely not know us, but she has been one of life’s richest blessings to me personally and to all of our family. She is our only living Aunt and will likely not be with us much longer. She is 94. We will be with her tomorrow. At this time next week we will be in Central California where our oldest grandson is stationed at his Air Force base. We will spend 4 days with him before returning home. How I look forward to this time!

My heart is full of thanksgiving this morning. It is so much easier to see God’s blessings when one reflects. Living through life I can easily get caught in the grip of events which Satan wants to influence and does if I give into fear. However, God’s Hand always shows up and He has never let fear win. The outcome always points back to God’s loving Grace and Mercy and His endless power over any of Satan’s attacks. How I love Him for this!
